WHAT’S IN THE CITY?
What’s Happening In Penrith? Updates for Spiritual Leaders
Dear Friends,
I am thrilled to share our latest design to keep everyone in Penrith—especially our pastors and business leaders—informed about the exciting activities happening in our beloved city.
Our goal is to empower our pastors and leaders to stay engaged with the work God is doing in Penrith.
Through our monthly newsletter, "What’s On in the City?", you will find valuable initiatives and opportunities to connect with our vibrant Penrith community
"Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!" -

Help Stop Trafficking: “Get Free” by Educating Our Youth!
It's a startling reality that in 2023, over 50 million people were trafficked globally, with 40,000 from Australia alone.
In May, the NSW Government revealed that 16,400 women and children are being taken within our own state.
As the churches of Penrith City, we can play a pivotal role in breaking this cycle through education.
Partner with Craig Giles, a dedicated Christian filmmaker, and support his important film, "Get Free."
Craig has developed seven lessons aimed at educating our youth on how to steer clear of traffickers.
These lessons align with 13 points of the NSW Curriculum.
If you’d like to know more about how you can contribute, please reach out to Sunil Bhandarkar at [email protected] or call him at 0422 868 012
